Suggest Remedy For Swelling After Getting Stung By A Wasp
I was stung by a wasp and initial swelling started to occur. I put tobacco over the stung area and the pain an swelling went down.that was around 1 pm. I woke up the next day with the stung area swollen. I did also drink that night. Was it simply a delayed reaction or did alcohol effect that?
As per details; Its not due to alcohol, its reaction to sting bite. You should not worry about it. I would like to advise you >Take any antihistamine for 3 days .(an hour before sleep ) >Take simple acetaminophen for pain (if it hurts)
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
